Would You Drink a Cocktail Invented By a Computer?

IBM's Watson computer has many talents. It discussed music with Bob Dylan, beat Ken Jennings at Jeopardy! and even ran a food truck. Now, the artificial intelligence project has picked up another skill: bartending. Working with foodies and chefs from Bon Apétit magazine and the Institute of Culinary Education, IBM programmers put the software through culinary school. The project, known as "Chef Watson," generates original recipes based on ingredients a user selects, Christopher Trout writes for Engadget. "The system doesn't look at ingredients the same way chefs do," software engineer and chef Florian Pinel, who helped IBM develop Chef Watson, says in a video showcasing the cloud-based cook.
